Central nervous system: it is used
in memory loss. The fraction potentiated secobarbitone
in shallaki-induced hypnosis.

Cardiovascular system: it is cardio
protective.

Respiratory system: it is used in
chronic cough and dyspnea

Reproductive system: it is used in
leucorrhea and spermatorrhea.

Musculoskeletal system: The gum resin
is used as an ointment for sores and has anti-inflammatory,
anti atherosclerotic and anti arthritic activities.
The non phenolic fraction of the gum resin
had marked sedative and analgesic action.

Use of Shallaki in arthritisIn clinical and preclinical studies, Boswellia
serrata has been shown to contribute potent
anti-inflammatory activity. Boswellic acids
exert anti-inflammatory response by preventing
leukotriene synthesis. During pharmacological
evaluation the extract of Boswellia serrata
in experimental animals, displayed marked anti-inflammatory
activity in various models like carrageenan-induced
oedema in rats and mice and dextran oedema in
rats. Two placebo-controlled studies, involving
a total of 81 individuals with rheumatoid arthritis,
found significant reductions in swelling and
pain over the course of 3 months. A comparative
study in 60 arthritic patients over 6 months
showed that Boswellia extract produced symptomatic
benefits comparable to oral gold therapy in
arthritic patients. According to a recent review
of unpublished studies, preliminary double-blind
trials have found Boswellia to be effective
in relieving the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis
